Just goes to show all those people out there paying for these big old RV's that you can pull or park very easy. Goes to show that designing a cargo camper, or a tear drop camper. Or like mine a bicycle cargo camper trailer. That it does not have to be a big old house your pulling down the road. Just has to fit you and you loved ones, be strong and serve it's purpose. And that is living a comfortable and money saving life. Thank you and keep up the happy trails.
Thanks Michael for sharing videos of all these great folks and their rigs! I'm hoping to join you if I get this built... I'm converting a 4'x6'x5' point nose w/ramp Cargo trailer. So far, added: 2-12x22 windows and the 26x36 Amazon side door; 5ft tongue extension for a 48"x68" aluminum diamond plate front deck and 10" wide side steps in front of the fenders. Planning on: 32" TV on a 28"x48" cabinet in the point with stereo and all electric controls; 5k btu air conditioner; a 6' couch sitting on stacked storage boxes that support the 3 piece hinged bed boards and mattress pads; 2" rear hitch for a 'back porch' rack to offset tongue weight and that also holds 2" sq tubing support for the floor of my 'ramp room' which will be a rear kitchen & add'l space bringing interior to 4x9; Roof rack will hold 2 solar panels and duffel bags for clothes, bedding, etc; Trailer Doubles as a toy hauler for a People S200 scooter! Wish me luck....
LOL, I actually laughed out loud about your coffee commentary. Love your videos! You two are very informative and I very much enjoy seeing the other teardrops! I look forward to my ordered Road Toad Adobe teardrop in March 2023!
The forward swept wall is something that I've had in my head for years, probably because I've rested against so many badly designed couches with my dodgy back. Pain definitely makes one consider comfort over looks sometimes 😆 I'm the same with coffee lol, glad I'm not the only one. I have a friend that says he's a bit of a coffee snob, he won't drink anything other than Maxwell house and Nescafe instant 🤣
Another good one Michael. I always enjoy camping with you & JoAnn. We have a great time. I still use my percolator for my coffee while camping, with Folgers in the brew basket. I am old fashioned that way. Hope to see you soon.
New Mexico Pinion coffee is the best I've ever found. We take it camping, take it to hotels, we have even flown with it. You will never leave home without it.
Kevin get you some Community Coffee. Made in Louisiana. Yo can order it the Walmart or order it straight from community coffee web page . Yall will love it
My brother bought a Nu Kamp Tag about a month ago, having spent _ALL_ off the money on it for a new one. It's outfitted similarly to the one you showed in this video. Brilliant craftsmanship makes it worth the money. But... having seen your videos on teardrop storage, I couldn't help but notice there wasn't hardly any beyond that one cabinet in the galley! He's got air conditioning, heat, and the microwave... none of which is serviceable without shore power. Both my brothers and I camped in tents with the Boy Scouts, so I know he knows that. To each his own. 🤷♂ Having said that, I'm trying to sell the wife on the idea of a Tab, since she's dead set about not staying anywhere without a bathroom. The 400 seems a fair compromise between the teardrop and a full-size camper, and our little Chevy S10 should be able to tow it handily.
We had plywood galley for almost 2 years before settling on our current design. What we ended up is not how we thought we'd camp. It is really a great tip to start camping before trying to "finish".
Nothing wrong about the k cup coffee ... I actually have opened up the k cups and brewed it up in a mini drip coffee maker ... and it tastes really good ... its the taste, That is so good ...
I'm drinking some Community Coffee w/ Chicory tonight. Somebody recommended it to me on one of my videos. It reminds me of the coffee my Grandmother got me started on when I was a boy.
Ok, I’m gonna have to try some CC now! I’ve seen your coffee videos. You made some once where you measured it on a scale and did a pour over method allowing it to bloom. I’d pay good money for a cup of that.
🤣🤣 don't feel bad about the coffee! I pretty much did the same thing, except I use the Walmart Great Value Aribica French Roast! Quick, which is of prime importance to me in the morning! Take care, good video, juzt found your channel and subscribed. Will be checking out the Missouri Tear Jerkers chapter.
My only concern with a lot of bike campers or tear drop trailers is can I fit in it cuz I stand 6'5 and a lot of them don't look like they'll provide enough leg room for someone like me
Great video Michael. Thanks for showing the great time we have at the tearjerker gatherings, and being an unofficial ambassador😊. I have been looking for a source for those windows Walt has. It never dawned on me to check with a manufacturer. As long as the coffee isn't instant! I thought that would be a good idea when I was work camping last year. Horrible. I have already made my 2022 resy's for all the Carolina gatherings and getting ready to submit my form for the Teardrop City Gathering. Trying to make sure we get ahead of the crowd and have a spot (hat tip to Eric!😁). Hope to see you and JoAnn again at another gathering. Might try to make a TN one this year. Ed KI1R
Hey there! It’s great to hear from you. I hope y’all are doing well. After we camped at Oconee and I saw your HF antenna, I ended up getting an HF rig when I got home. It’s the Xiegu G90. Hope to see y’all next year! 73’s.
But have you tried that old cowboy coffee pot shown at the end of later episodes of Gunsmoke? That’s when fresh coffee meant it was made that very same day. 😆
I use the same k-cup machine and the same coffee. You are right that coffee is the best. I think the major brands are blending robusta coffee into the arabica. First noticed that Folgers tasted different.
Those always seemed so wasteful and the machine is very expensive. Still using a cheap one that might have cost 20 bucks back in the day. :) once it fails, I'll probably just use the single cup drip thing to save room.
I don’t know the brand, but it’s a queen size blanket that runs on AC electric. It has a control that goes from 1-10 (I think). We usually run it around 3. It heats the camper up nicely.
I had a Biddeford for 5 years, nightly use. It died, and I spent WAYYY too much on a Hammacher Schlemmer one, and it barely works after a few months. I'll send it back and take their store credit, which the are great about. The other fail was a rubber failure on a language translator. I couldn't get it off. It was gross. It was just sticky. I think you use rubbing alcohol on it now..
I have requested to join Tearjerkers for over a week, I'm waiting on the moderator to except me. I have built a microcamper and about to build a wide teardrop. I would love to attend some events and I live in the Florida panhandle
I hope we cross paths at a meetup! Not sure why the delay on approval. It could be they’re just running behind. They also have a Facebook page called “TearJerkers Official.”

Terrific video of nice people & their creations. Your "stupid coffee" apology was hysterical. 😂

Liking the ‘stargazer’ window👍
I love Folgers Black Silk in K-cups! Best coffee ever!
Beautiful location and great people. Thanks Mike!
My pleasure!
Never have I thought about Walmart K-cup coffee until now. Thanks for the tip. Also great teardrop content and channel. Sub’d.
LOL, I actually laughed out loud about your coffee commentary. Love your videos! You two are very informative and I very much enjoy seeing the other teardrops! I look forward to my ordered Road Toad Adobe teardrop in March 2023!
Congrats on your purchase! Those are nice campers.
You always find the coolest places to go and nice adventures

I’m so addicted to Great Value Colombian! Lol!
@@CampandCamera Duncan Donuts!
you can tell all of the creativity and personal little touches in all of them even the manufactured ones love these type of vids, Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Another good one Michael. I always enjoy camping with you & JoAnn. We have a great time. I still use my percolator for my coffee while camping, with Folgers in the brew basket. I am old fashioned that way. Hope to see you soon.
It was another great outing! Man, I wish we lived closer. We could build some stuff. I managed to get a spot at Desoto!
@@CampandCamera I noticed you got a Desoto site. Cool!
I just moved to TN last year, so I'm part of this group, but haven't camped with them yet. Nice to see a gathering, and some of the campers.
New Mexico Pinion coffee is the best I've ever found. We take it camping, take it to hotels, we have even flown with it. You will never leave home without it.
Thanks for the lead!!
I have the same K-cup Walmart coffee machine! I only use Folgers Black Silk in it! I love my coffee!
I'm a class c be vintage camper but I love your videos
I may have to go look in to the Tear Jerkers, Thumbs up 👍
You won’t be disappointed by going to a gathering. It’s a great bunch of folks.
I have a coffee pot just like that 😊. And the Walmart French Roast k-cups are my favorite.
So, I’m not alone in this!
@@CampandCamera 😊 nope
These are some nice little trailers.
Kevin get you some Community Coffee. Made in Louisiana. Yo can order it the Walmart or order it straight from community coffee web page . Yall will love it
Thanks for the tip!! Anything to get me away from Great Value brand!
Currently building my own square drop in Ireland. Your videos are great inspiration for me... thanks
I very much appreciate that. Enjoy your build!

I believe you’d be happy with a 400.
Yayyy Another episode of Camp n Camera! Its not even my birthday yet.
Lol!
HAHAHA. You are forgiven for your coffee issue. :)
Admitting it is the first step! Lol!
We had plywood galley for almost 2 years before settling on our current design. What we ended up is not how we thought we'd camp.
It is really a great tip to start camping before trying to "finish".
It sure is. I kinda wish I’d done that.
Nothing wrong about the k cup coffee ... I actually have opened up the k cups and brewed it up in a mini drip coffee maker ... and it tastes really good ... its the taste, That is so good ...
If you've got shore power or just propane grill, try french pressed coffee. The flavor is hard to beat. The downside is the cleanup.
I have loved the Teardrops for decades and I’m researching what I need and like. Can any of them be pulled with a Prius? 🤔
I have heard of some super light ones that can be. Many were DIY campers.

@@CampandCamera you will probably see me next spring. Look forward to it!
we're taking our Runaway to our first Tear Jerker rally in January! (Carolina chapter) Looking forward to it!
You’re gonna have a blast!
Hey I Love That Coffee, Can't Beat It I My Opinion
I'm gonna have find a chapter of Tearjerkers to join for 2022 meet ups. Great vlog
You’ll love it!!
@@CampandCamera Any of those chapters in AL?
My only concern with a lot of bike campers or tear drop trailers is can I fit in it cuz I stand 6'5 and a lot of them don't look like they'll provide enough leg room for someone like me
Oh how I wish I could do this too!

Keep up the good work.
I really appreciate that. We have some fun topics on the horizon!
another great video mike
Thanks so much!
Your videos are so informative and entertaining to boot, keep up the great work. Camp on.
I really appreciate that. That’s what keeps us going.
Costa Rica coffee called Montana maybe worth a try. It's very good!
But have you tried that old cowboy coffee pot shown at the end of later episodes of Gunsmoke? That’s when fresh coffee meant it was made that very same day. 😆
Lol!
Try Doma Coffee. They're local to me and excellent! Another great vid. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip!

There's a guy that makes coffee in tea bag form, look at overland adventure where they many vendors...
Sad, New Wave seems to be out of business. That looked like a really good teardrop.
I built a little overland camper last year , can I join tearjerkers here in Michigan ?
You certainly can!
Mine is a sliver shadow made by the same company as the tag
Nice!
Do you know of any 12v K cup coffee maker?
Here’s one on Amazon:

I prefer the Walmart donut shop k cup coffee ☕
I would love to join the tear jerkers but I have tried several times and they won't answer me. I would love to camp with you guys
Hmm, let me see what’s going on. They also have a Facebook page called “TearJerkers Official.” You may send them a PM to see what’s up.
I have requested to join Tearjerkers for over a week, I'm waiting on the moderator to except me. I have built a microcamper and about to build a wide teardrop. I would love to attend some events and I live in the Florida panhandle

Lol!
👍
👍🏼
Hahahahahaha don’t worry, im the same way……………HAIL WALMART GREAT VALUE COLUMBIA!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!!
